Forgive my ignorance (I'm havnt owned a charged car...yet). But are you on about turbo flutter? This basically happens when air goes the wrong way through your turbo.

So block off your blow off, or recirc and enjoy that sound, all the way to the dealer to get your now broken turbo fixed...
It's a mk2. Fill it, drive it, enjoy it.  :smiley:

The bog standard high pressure turbo Iveco Daily's do this loudly as standard. Highly amusing through town when people turn to expect a sports car and it's the biggest panel van you can buy.  :grin:
